Sidney, Fremont Co., Iowa
January 4, 1917
WILL PUT IN A LINOTYPE
Rev. L.B. Worcester, Miss Anna L. Dreyer and F. C. Rosentrater,
of the Hephzibah Faith Missionary association of Tabor, were in
Sidney Saturday. The first two are the editors of two religious
papers published at Tabor by this association, and Mr.
Rosentrater is the printer. They came down to inspect the
linotype and general equipment of the Herald office,
with all of which they were greatly pleased. In addition to the
two papers referred to, they print many tracts and do much other
printing, and have decided to put in a linotype. On December 7,
1916, Glad Tidings, one of their papers, contained this
item: "A widow living in Kansas has started a fund for a
linotype for this office. She donated one dollar as the starting
of the fund. Who will help by adding to this, and thus lighten
the work in the office, and help in the spreading of the
gospel?" L.B. Worcester is a son of the late Rev David
Worcester, who first came to Fremont county in 1843, when he
taught a term of school at McKissick's Grove. In the early '50's
he located in Sidney and ran a carding mill on the ground now
occupied by the Stich building, where the Herald office was
formerly located, and later ran a water mill near Knox and ground
corn for the early settlers. He was a cousin of the author of
Worcester's dictionary.
